4 Signs a Heating Repair Is Due

Your heating system provides consistent comfort throughout the winter months, but like most appliances, it can run into problems that may prevent it from performing its function. To ensure its performance and efficiency, you must be aware when it is time to have it serviced by an HVAC technician. We discuss the four signs a heating repair is due.

1. Strange Noises or Smells

If you start hearing strange noises or smelling something different coming from your system, it might be time to schedule an inspection. These could be indicative of a number of problems, like an issue with the blower motor or a buildup of dust and debris in the air ducts. Scheduling an appointment with your local HVAC technician is necessary to identify the real issue and prevent the system from getting damaged further.

2. Uneven Temperatures

The problem of uneven temperatures can be caused by blocked vents and ducts and poor insulation. Sometimes, however, the unit’s performance might be to blame. If some of the rooms feel colder than others or the air coming out of the vents isn’t warm enough, this could indicate an issue with the unit’s interior components.

3. High Energy Bills

If you’ve noticed a sharp increase in your energy bills, it may be time to call for HVAC repairs. Over time, a system that doesn’t work well can cost you more money, so having it serviced and replacing any worn or broken parts will help make sure it works well. 

4. Short Cycling

Short cycling occurs when your furnace turns on and off quickly without providing the necessary warmth throughout your home. It is often caused by a clogged air filter, which can be cleaned or replaced on your own. However, if the short cycling persists even after doing this fix, you need to call a professional HVAC technician who can determine the root cause of the problem.
